ZK Benchmarks with Conner Swann


Listen Later

In this episode Anna explores the contentious topic of ZK benchmarking with Conner Swann, founder of ProofLab.
Drawing parallels with AI's development, they explore how tools like ProofLab could help standardize benchmarking across dimensions like speed, cost, and security. The conversation touches on the importance of formal verification and real-world workload testing, while considering how better benchmarking could accelerate ZK adoption and potentially lead to ZK's own 'ChatGPT moment'
